Topic: Iron (Read 2400 times)

My nutritionist is currently researching a suitable base multivitamin for me to take. I trust shes researching the matter further herself as she seems pretty thorough and committed (I'm her first hiv+ client) but from what she mentioned during our first meeting, I understand that iron supplements might not be so good for folk with hiv.

I'm googling the topic now as I type but I'm not so hot with science lingo. So if anyone can explain what they know in a 'special needs' kind of way ), I would be a happy chicky.

No urgency, just curious.

The difference between cats and dogs is that dogs come when called, whereas cats take a message and get back to you.

Iron is quite essential for absorbtion of minerals into the blood, Mental activity and Muscles as far as I know.It's normally good to get your Iron with your Magnesium. It helps with absorbtion or something as far as I know.Hmmm..... I normally get my Iron from Spinach and Eggs....They seem to cover a lot of good nutrients for hiv+ ppl
